Manhattan Out - Correspondance New-Yorkaise
In 1980 Raymond Depardon arrives in New York. The photographer wandered about discovering the city, his Leica around his neck, snapping photos of his random encounters. He returned there in the summer of 1981 for French daily Libération, who had commissioned him to produce a captioned photo of the mythical city every day from July 2nd to August 7th.

Caucasus
"For several years I had tried everything possible to flee the small Bavarian town I grew up in, eventually ending up in Moscow at the age of twenty. After spending more than a year there trying, unsuccessfully, to get my act together as a photographer - studying Russian and photographing pretty much everything I came across without a specific story or clue - I discovered the Caucasus. It was love at first sight.
"In the spring of 1993, I decided to try to live in Tbilisi for a few months before going to university at the end of the summer. It was in this time I began to discover the cultures of the Caucasus, without preconceptions. The hospitality of the people. The beauty of the languages. The incredibly fast changes in the post-Soviet period. The wars and conflicts, bravery and cruelty. This place of such extremes could provoke such extreme emotions. I became fascinated and overwhelmed by the region. I meant to stay for only a few months and ended up staying for several years.
"It became my story, 'The Caucasus', and not just any story. In the years to come I would try to photograph everything and learn as much as I could about the place. Photography was my reason but also the excuse to live it, to experience and be part of the story. To be there, to be present in that place at that specific instant in history.
"The intensity of the war in Chechnya and the relatively sweet life in Tbilisi were like an addiction. Not really having any other opportunities or place to go back to, it took until 1998 for me to be able to leave this place behind. To this day, everything I do afterwards seems slightly pale and distanced. Having discovered the importance of the 'Caucasus Experience' in 19th century romantic Russian literature, I am finally trying to put together a book with all my pictures from these years.
"In the end, Bavaria is still my home, my origins, where I come from. But the Caucasus is where I feel like I grew up and know I will always keep returning to." -Thomas Dworzak
The book Kavkas, Schilt Publishing will be available at the gallery on the 15 September. Thomas Dworzak will be signing the book on the 16 September.

At The Movies: Magnum Ke Tasveer
Magnum’s archive of film imagery includes a large part of the history of cinema - the product of it’s photographers working on film sets capturing behind-the-scenes moments and photographing film directors, actors and actresses on and off camera, for over 60 years.
The 1950s, a period when the cult of the cinema idol grew, coincided with Magnum’s own ‘Golden Age’ – a time before television was widely available and the picture magazines reigned supreme as the main disseminators of news and publicity. Individual Magnum photographers forged friendships with movie stars, getting the kind of unchecked access no longer conceivable to today’s celebrities.
Henri Cartier-Bresson directed a number of films and Robert Capa’s extensive network of contacts included actors and directors amongst its ranks. Perhaps most fruitful in terms of images was Capa’s long-term friendship with the American Film Director, John Houston. In 1961, ten Magnum photographers were given the exclusive rights to document the making of his seminal movie, The Misfits. Written by the American playwright, Arthur Miller, it featured a cast of Hollywood stars including Marilyn Monroe, Clark Gable and Montgomery Clift. The film became legendary as it was the last that Monroe and Gable ever made.
This exhibition provides an introduction both to Magnum and Hollywood’s cinema heritage.
"At The Movies: Magnum Ke Tasveer" will tour to the following locations:
Mumbai, 29 October to 8 November; Bangalore, 10 December 2010 to 1 January 2011; Ahmedabad, 11 to 21 March 2011.

Being Human
Larry Towell's business card reads "Human Being." Experience as a poet and a folk musician has done much to shape his personal style. The son of a car repairman, Towell grew up in a large family in rural Ontario. During studies in visual arts at Toronto's York University, he was given a camera and taught how to process black-and-white film.
A stint of volunteer work in Calcutta in 1976 further inspired Towell to photograph and write. In 1984, he became a freelance photographer and writer focusing on issues such as dispossessed peoples, exile and peasant rebellion. He completed projects on the Nicaraguan Contra War, the relatives of the disappeared in Guatemala and American Vietnam War veterans who returned to Vietnam to rebuild the country after the war. His first published magazine essay, "Paradise Lost," exposed the ecological consequences of the catastrophic Exxon Valdez oil spill in Alaska's Prince William Sound. He became a Magnum nominee in 1988, and a full member in 1993.
In 1996, Towell completed a project based on ten years of reportage in El Salvador, followed the next year by a major book on the Palestinians. His fascination with landlessness also led him to document the Mennonite migrant workers of Mexico, an eleven-year project completed in 2000. With the help of the inaugural Henri Cartier-Bresson Award, he finished a second highly-acclaimed book on the Palestinian-Israeli conflict in 2005, and in 2008 released the award-winning The World From My Front Porch , a project on his own family in rural Ontario where he sharecrops a 75-acre farm.

The Dogon
Mark Borghi Fine Art will host the exhibit and opening reception of “The Dogon: A limited-edition series of photographs by Stuart Franklin” on Saturday, August 28th 2010 from 6-9 pm at 2426 Main Street, Bridgehampton, NY. 100% of sales will go to the Voss Foundation, whose mission is to help provide rural African villages with access to clean water.
The exhibition will feature the limited-edition series of high-quality photographs depicting the life of a desert landscape, where water is paramount in the daily struggle to survive. On average, a rural African household spends more than 25 percent of its time fetching water, a burden shouldered primarily by women and children. Nearly five thousand children die each day from preventable diseases due to unclean water and inadequate sanitation – more than HIV/AIDS, malaria, and measles combined.

Strange & Familiar: Three Views of Brighton
New works by three internationally acclaimed photographers, each presenting a very different response to the city of Brighton & Hove. Rinko Kawauchi (JPN), and Alec Soth (USA) commissioned by Photoworks and Stephen Gill (UK), in association with the Archive of Modern Conflict.
Alec Soth
Brighton Picture Hunt
For this Photoworks commission, his first in the UK, Alec Soth has made work in collaboration with his daughter Carmen walking around Brighton & Hove. Like much of his previous work, the photographic journey of Brighton Picture Hunt combines poetic and documentary sensibilities, each photograph and idea leading to the next. People, places and objects are woven amongst local newspaper headlines. Serendipity is at play as text and image combine to make uncanny connections and provide a captivating portrait of a city.
Stephen Gill
Outside In
For this commission Hackney based photographer Stephen Gill has created Outside In, a series steered and guided by the physical place itself, literally scooping up bits of Brighton and dropping parts of it into his camera. Gill employs finds such as seaweed, local plant life, a false eyelash, a jelly bear, fish tails, etc discovered on his travels or near where his photographs are made. Insects crawl across the film emulsion like creatures caught in amber. The objects introduced to the camera chamber are integral to the photographs rather than superimposed, their place in the composition occurring entirely at random and establishing both harmony and conflict.
Rinko Kawauchi
Murmuration
Acclaimed Japanese photographer Rinko Kawauchi has been drawn to the spectacle of flocking starlings at Brighton Pier. Here during the winter months at dusk, the birds gather in their tens of thousands, wheeling around to create a mesmerizing swirling cloud called a murmuration. Kawauchi is fascinated by the ephemeral nature of this phenomenon and, continuing with the theme of the flock, she has also trailed groups of people through the city. This commission, her first in the UK, is supported by funding from The Japan Foundation, The Great Britain Sasakawa Foundation and The Daiwa Anglo – Japanese Foundation.
This exhibition is part of the Brighton Photo Biennial curated by Martin Parr. The printing of the many exhibitions has been sponsored by Hewlett Packard. Brighton Photo Biennial is also the first 'frame free' photography festival.

Elliott Erwitt – Platinum Prints & Classic Snaps
Four of Elliott Erwitt’s most iconic images will be presented in the UK for the first time as editioned, large format platinum prints, in an exhibition of fine photographs spanning Erwitt’s distinguished career. Produced in May 2010 using cutting edge technology, and launched at this year’s Recontres D’Arles in July, these 30”x40” platinum prints feature Erwitt’s photographs of racial segregation in North Carolina, 1950; a kiss reflected in the wing mirror of a car, California, 1955; a glamorous movie star Marilyn Monroe, New York, 1956 and one of his best loved pictures of the relationship between man and dog Felix, Gladys and Rover (New York, 1976).
Born in 1928 to Russian parents in Paris, Erwitt spent his childhood in Italy before emigrating to the United States. He developed an interest in photography as a teenager in Hollywood, and worked in a commercial darkroom in his spare time before experimenting with photography at college. In 1948 he moved to New York where he took film classes, subsequently travelling to Italy and France in 1949. Drafted for military service in 1951, he undertook various photographic duties while serving in a unit of the Army Signal Corps in Germany and France. He joined Magnum in 1953 at the invitation of Robert Capa.
Erwitt’s archive includes classic photojournalism and portraits of film stars from Hollywood and Magnum’s golden age in the 1950s, along with more personal documentary, observational work and witty sequences, more often than not including one of his favourite subjects, dogs. A master of the one-liner, Erwitt is as unpretentious and eloquent as his photographs, which communicate an infectious joie de vivre.
Outspoken in his critique of digital manipulation, Erwitt has, however, embraced the ability of technology to create new opportunities for analogue techniques. Using a new technique developed by the specialist printmaker Arkady Lvov and digital printing expert Gabe Greenberg over eight years, Erwitt’s platinum prints were produced using the latest Large Format Photo Negative application from HP. Of these prints, made in Lvov and Greenberg’s New York studios, Erwitt says:
“When you put the platinum prints side by side with silver prints you see the difference. The platinum is more lush. The tonality is creamier. Platinum printing is the Rolls Royce of photographic reproduction and has traditionally been limited to modest dimensions. These new, large-format platinum prints, with their unusual size, are a Rolls Royce and Ferrari combined.”
Included alongside the platinum set are signed silver gelatin prints of some of Erwitt’s most well-known images: portraits of Marlon Brando (1954), Grace Kelly (1956), Sophia Loren (1962) Che Guevara (1964) and his beloved dogs, as well as his evocative documentary of stolen moments such as the couple dancing in a kitchen in Spain (1952), a dove taking flight (1955), and a mother (his then wife) and baby (1953).
Now in his 80s, Erwitt continues to travel widely and produce both personal and commercial work. This year alone he has shot high profile campaigns for San Pellegrino, Tod’s and the Puerto Rico Tourism board. Recent books include Rome and The Art of André S. Solidor in 2009, and his exhibitions Dog Dogs and his Retrospective continue to tour widely.

The Mexican Suitcase
The Mexican Suitcase, a groundbreaking exhibition revealing the most famous group of recovered negatives of the twentieth century, will be on view at the International Center of Photography. Considered lost since 1939, the so-called Mexican Suitcase is in fact three boxes containing 4,500 negatives documenting the Spanish Civil War by Robert Capa, Chim (David Seymour), and Gerda Taro. There are also several rolls of portraits of Capa and Taro by Fred Stein. Besides offering new images by these major photographers that provide a comprehensive overview of the war, the cache of negatives also includes previously unknown portraits of Ernest Hemingway, Federico Garcia Lorca, and Dolores Ibarruri (known as “La Pasionaria”).
Capa, Chim, and Taro risked their lives to witness history in the making and show it to the world, and the Mexican Suitcase contains some of their most important works. Its recovery set in motion a profound shift in the study of these three photographers. In the process of researching the negatives, the authorship of numerous images by Capa, Chim, and Taro has been confirmed or reattributed. This material not only provides a uniquely rich and panoramic view of the Spanish Civil War, a conflict that changed the course of European history, but also demonstrates how the work of these legendary photographers laid the foundation for modern war photography. Appearing throughout the international press, their innovative and passionate coverage of the war was both engaged and partisan. While overtly supporting the antifascist Republican cause, their dramatic photographs vividly recorded battle sequences as well as the harrowing effects of the war on civilians.
Equally compelling are the stories of the photographers themselves as revealed through their images: the dashing Capa, the studious Chim, and the intrepid Taro, who died tragically in 1937 during the battle of Brunete. This is the history of three young people and the ties that bound them: the moving personal and artistic relationship between Capa and Taro, and the professional bond that later led Capa and Chim to create Magnum Photos. The material contained in the Mexican Suitcase documents a turning point in the history of photojournalism.
The exhibition will present most of these negatives as modern contact sheets. Because they were lost so long ago, and no contact sheets were made, these films show us for the first time the order in which the images were conceived and shot, and in some cases the full extent of the photographers’ work on the story. Images that had become iconic over the years can now be read in their original sequence. In addition, all of the films reveal unedited frames, either unpublished or never printed. The exhibition will also include various examples of the original 1930s periodicals in which the work first appeared. These publications—Regards, Vu, Life, Schweizer Illustrierte Zeitung, Volks-Illustrierte—provide an enlightening historical context for the evolving coverage of the war and the growing reliance on the photo essay. The Mexican Suitcase will contain both vintage prints from the ICP collection and contemporary prints, along with the photographers’ own rarely seen contact notebooks.
Also on view will be two rarely seen Spanish Civil War films that used Capa footage and have corresponding stills in the Taro suitcase negatives.
The exhibition is organized by Cynthia Young, Assistant Curator. A fully illustrated two-volume catalogue will be published by ICP/Steidl to accompany the exhibition. All the negatives in the suitcase will be reproduced, accompanied by essays from twenty-two specialists in the Spanish Civil War and 1930s photography.
This exhibition and its catalogue were made possible with support from the National Endowment for the Arts, Joseph and Joan Cullman Foundation for the Arts, and Frank and Mary Ann Arisman. Additional support was received from Sandy and Ellen Luger, Bruce and Lois Zenkel, and the Program for Cultural Cooperation between Spain’s Ministry of Culture and United States Universities.

TV/ARTS/TV
TV/ARTS/TV is an exhibition that offers spectators the chance to witness firsthand how a series of international artists including Martin Parr took on this powerful medium, transformed it and came up with new uses.
We tend to accept the idea that there is a profound schism between creating art and the medium of television. But the exploratory work carried out here over an amorphous area that took in video art, photography, painting and the internet led to a rethinking of these questions and saw the appearance of a range of complex relationships between artists and television.
The exhibition brings together pieces (single-channel videos and installations), experiences (direct accounts by the people involved) and reflections (documents, texts, projects) representing and explaining utopias and dystopias, the fascinating and aggressive sides to the mythical TV set. The idea was to raise awareness, especially among younger generations, of the systems of thought and practices that created new possible worlds and looked beyond existing horizons. Since the project includes work by young artists, it also manages to strike up a dialogue between the recent past (the 1970s) and the present.

In Praise of Leisure
Martin Parr will show 17 images from Luxury and all will be printed on canvas at around 250x170cm. About his Luxury series he says: "Everybody photographs the poor; I decided to photograph rich people". For four years Parr attended all kinds of events associated with luxury: fairs, competitions, exhibitions, sporting occasions and benefit galas all over the world. He introduced himself into those atmospheres with the intention of reflecting a particular stratum of society that had been so little portrayed by photographers.
Free time has increased and keeps on growing. It is demanded as an inalienable right. But it is not the same for all. Leisure is consumed, and consumption depends on means. The social stratification of leisure is inevitable. Going to the beach at Benidorm or going to the beach at Portofino. Flying a kite or flying a microlight. Floating on an air bed from Carrefour or sailing a Belliure. What does unify the act of leisure is the fact that people must totally give themselves over to it, as fully consenting individuals, freely and voluntarily. These activities will be performed once they have got their social obligations out of the way. Although, strangely enough, for many leisure has turned into another social obligation.
All the works that make up this edition of GETXOPHOTO have been chosen because they deal in some way with the concept of free time and leisure. Captivating on a visual plane, diverse in their subject matter and varied in the techniques employed. All united in their use of documentary image as a vehicle.
GETXOPHOTO is a photography festival that takes place in the main on the streets of the municipality of Getxo, in the Basque Country, and came into being in 2007 through the efforts of the collective Begihandi. The Festival is committed to exploring and experimenting with unusual formats and places of exhibition. This is one of its principal distinguishing marks. The places that will form a part of each edition are carefully selected, as is the accompanying curatorial proposal. This is not about adorning the town but about intervening within it in order to tell stories through specially chosen images, thereby proposing a specific dialogue with the spectator.
GETXOPHOTO wants to bring people different ways of seeing and not just to hang photographs as works of art to observed, but for them to spark off emotions: complicity, questioning, bonds between people and images, neighbours and visitors.

In Celebration of Women
"All through my life as a photographer I have made a point of photographing women whom I admire, who have done something special with their lives, who have protested against their fate, also those close to me like my daughter and grand daughter and intimate friends all of whom appear in this collection." Martine Franck
Martine Franck born in Belgium, grew up in the States and in England before studying Art History at the University of Madrid and the Ecole du Louvre in Paris. Growing up amongst a family dedicated to the Arts, Martine had a passion for painting, sculpture and architecture from which she acquired a distinctive eye for composition. It was almost by chance photography came into her life. Having received a visa to visit China in the early 1960s, she borrowed a camera to record her experiences. With her insatiable curiosity, Martine then traveled the globe photographing the social landscape. Her deep interest in the diversified cultures and social classes of everyday life is complimented by her compassion and empathy for her subject matter. Portraiture became the focus of her work.
This exhibition brings together photographs of women, from factory workers in Bucharest to geishas in Kyoto, film stars, artists, writers and performers Martine has photographed since the 1960s. It is both a celebration of women and a testament to the unique vision and empathy of a great photographer.

Book Signing at Visa Pour l'Image
Paolo Pellegrin will be on hand to sign copies of the award winning book 'Double Blind: War in Lebanon 2006'
About the book: While all Wars contain an element of the absurd, in looking at the conflict in Lebanon in the summer of 2006 - in what sparked it and what was achieved - it is hard to find a modern comparison for sheer senselessness. On the morning of July 12, 2006, Hezbollah fighters in southern Lebanon conducted a raid on an Israeli army border outpost, killing three soldiers and taking two others back across the frontier as prisoners. An Israeli army unit that went in pursuit of the attackers instead stumbled into a Hezbollah ambush, resulting in the deaths of five more Israeli soldiers. From that small beginning, a war began that will continue to have ramifications in the Middle East for decades to come. Published by Trolley. Photos by Paolo Pellegrin texts by Scott Anderson.
Pellegrin has won many awards, including eight World Press Photo awards and numerous Photographer of the Year awards, a Leica Medal of Excellence, an Olivier Rebbot Award, the Hansel-Meith Preis, and the Robert Capa Gold Medal Award. In 2006, he was assigned the W. Eugene Smith Grant in Humanistic Photography. He lives in New York and Rome.

Kurdistan
Kurdistan is part of the larger exhibition first presented at the ICP and curated by Kristen Luben. Kurdistan: In the Shadow of History, Meiselas’ most difficult and innovative undertaking, it includes few of her own photographs. In essence it is a kind of archival investigation of a diaspora, a reclaiming of history through image and document: a chronicle of a lost country, on behalf of a scattered people. Meiselas has literally redefined the notion of a «witness» away from the traditional photojournalistic paradigm: she has become viewer, collector, curious observer and finally participant in the making of an endlessly unfolding history.
Since the 1970s, questions of ethics raised by documentary practice have been central to debates in photography. Perhaps no other photographer has so closely and consistently represented and participated in these debates than Susan Meiselas. An American photographer best known for her work covering the political upheavals in Central America in the 1970s and '80s, Meiselas's process has evolved in radical and challenging ways as she has grappled with pivotal questions about her relationship to her subjects, the use and circulation of her images in the media, and the relationship of images to history and memory. Her insistent engagement with these concerns has positioned her as a leading voice in the debate on contemporary documentary practice.

Henri Cartier-Bresson: Early works
World famous photographer Henri Cartier-Bresson (1908-2004) is called the father of photo journalism. The exhibition “Early works” presents his earliest photographs and it includes many of his most famous images. The exhibition takes a viewer to the atmosphere of 1930s in Italy, Germany, Spain and Mexico. His photographs combine a truthful documentation of reality with a sense of surreal coincidences.
In 1932, at the age of twenty-four, Henri Cartier-Bresson acquired a hand held Leica camera and his previously casual interest in photography became a passion. Over the next three years he created one of the most original and influential bodies of work in the history of photography.
